hi there

I signed up a few weeks ago when i was shopping for a truck, i just picked up a 1998 f150 XL V6 ext cab with short bed, dark blue, bedliner, 280K km for $4k cad (etest+safety). As it is my first I might have a lot of questions once i start driving it. For now the only question is where do i find out what ratio is it? would that be coded in my VIN? ohh also looking for a used cap for it white black or dark blue is there any place in GTA that would sell used ones? Thanks in advance on any advice you might have for me

I assume your looking for the gear ratio, check the sticker on the drivers door, it will have a code, them post the code on here, or go to a vin/tag decoder thread. Its easy

You need to check the code on the door.
There is also a metal tag on the pumpkin.
I would guess you have an open 3.08 or 3.55.
